Chips to the upper and lower extremes of the spine expose the textblock. The back cover has foxing, soiling, creases, and chips. Both staples are visible when the front cover is opened to the first page, and the lower staple evidences more rust. The Machu Picchu supplement or foldout is attached to the inside of the front cover.
